Population Structure
Genetic relationships among major quinoa ecological groups.
EPISODE 03
GENOMICS
Reading the language of life.
From 2,260 resequenced germplasm accessions to 41 TB of genomic data, Jiaqi is building a genomic foundation for quinoa discovery and future breeding.

From Diversity to Data
2,260
Quinoa germplasm accessions whole-genome resequenced
41 TB
Genomic data generated for research and breeding
GWAS
Connecting genome-wide variation with important traits
02
Understanding Population Diversity
Genome-wide analysis reveals how quinoa diversity is structured across ecological groups, including coastal, highland, middle and wild resources.

03
From Sequence to Discovery
Resequencing transforms biological diversity into analyzable genomic variation.
Structural Variation
Large-scale genome variation helps explain hidden diversity.
Population Genomics
Highland, middle, coastal and wild groups reveal evolutionary history.
Genomic Platform
Laboratory work, sequencing data and breeding questions are connected.
04
Population Genomics
Behind every accession is a history of adaptation. Genomics allows Jiaqi to see relationships that cannot be observed in the field alone.

Genomics Empowering Breeding
Genomics does not end in data. It returns to breeding through GWAS, gene mapping, candidate gene discovery and marker development.

06
Genomics in Action
Breeding creates materials. Genomics explains them and makes them traceable.
GWAS
Connecting phenotypes from the field with genome-wide variation.
Gene Mapping
Locating genomic regions associated with key breeding traits.
Marker Development
Turning biological discoveries into practical breeding tools.
Trait Discovery
Supporting future work on herbicide resistance, maturity, stress tolerance and plant architecture.
